Twins can sleep side-by-side in a bedside crib vs cot cot, as long as you follow the safe sleeping guidelines (that's to say they should be lying on their backs with the tops of their heads facing each other and their feet placed at opposite ends of the cot). Once they are big enough, they may also sleep together in a Moses Basket or regular crib.

Convenience

It is not recommended that parents of twins sleep their babies in the same crib or bassinet. Instead the Rednose group Rednose suggests that twins be given their own safe sleeping space (crib or bassinet, or a portable crib) in the parents' or caregiver's room until they turn 12 months old to reduce the risk of SIDS. This arrangement is also referred to as co-bedding, and it has been observed that twins who have been accustomed to this type of sleeping environment typically have a more synchronized sleep pattern than those who sleep on their own.

A twin bedside cosleeper cot such as the Teknum FELLOW 2 is a great method to achieve this. It includes two sets of bedding to ensure that each baby gets their own personal space. The bedside crib that turns into cot cot can easily be moved from room to room as necessary, and also makes it easy to check on the babies without having to wake them up by re-entering their sleeping space or disrupting their sleep patterns.

Other alternatives include double bassinets that have been specifically designed to allow infants to stay side-by-side and are perfect for mid-night feedings or diaper changes. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, features an air-tight mesh partition and an adjustable height to ensure that each baby can be seen and reached throughout the night, and the sides of the sleeper can be raised and Bedside Cot for Twins lowered to give easy access. Walmart's Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet, which is a cheaper option, has two sleep zones separated by a mesh, which allows babies to see each other. The sleeper can also rotate around 360 degrees to give an easy access for infants.

Many parents have found that bedding twins together with a moses basket, or a small bassinette, Bedside Cot for Twins could be a good option for situations that are temporary, such as a hospital stay or a visit to the family. However, this should be done only under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure that babies are properly positioned, with their feet to the foot of the cot and their bedding is securely tucked in to avoid them from becoming suffocating.

Safety

When it comes to twins sleeping together, the most important safety feature is that each infant has his or her individual space to sleep. This ensures that every infant isn't smothered or trapped by the other. This also helps avoid the death of a cot, which is more prevalent in infants with one parent than in multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins, tritons and higher-ordered triplets have their own sleeping area. The best way to accomplish this is with an additional bassinet or twin bedside cots that can be positioned close to your bed while you feed or soothe one of your babies throughout the night.

While the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to decrease the risk of SIDS by encouraging room sharing and avoiding cobedding, a lot of families with twins and multiples find it difficult to follow these guidelines (1). In a previous study, it was discovered that the majority of twin families that cobedded their children in the first three months of life at home were engaged in dangerous sleeping habits.

Parents of twins may not follow the current SIDS risk reduction guidelines due to a desire to prolong their own sleep and a lack of space to accommodate multiple cribs at home. In addition, the socioeconomic status of a family can influence their choices regarding the arrangement of their sleep.

If twins are put in a small Moses basket or crib, their bedding may easily entangle them and they could choke on each other.

This will reduce the chance of them choking on each other.

Comfort

The arrival of twins or multiples into the world is a major life-changing. They require lots of planning and consideration not to mention in regards to where they will sleep and how they will get a good night's rest. While decisions about their future bedroom space can be taken when they are older, parents often wonder what they can do to help them to settle in the early stages.

When twins are still young, it is possible to share a crib. This is referred to as co-bedding, and can provide excellent comfort for babies as it helps them remember the womb. The key is to make sure the beds are large enough for babies to be comfortable, without touching each other or rolling around. It is also important to keep in mind that the baby who wakes first needs to be fed. It can be helpful to co-ordinate night feeds so that you can get one up before the other.

It is important to be aware that twins may have different sleep routines. You may find that one baby is waking more than the other or they prefer to be nearer to you. In this situation it may be beneficial for twins to have their own crib or bassinet in their room.

Look for twin bedside cot for twins cots with breathable mesh dividers for separate sleeping areas. This is crucial for babies prone to overheating, or for families with c-section moms. A reversible base and wheels that are easy to maneuver are also helpful features.
